Jonathan Swift was not alone when he published the «Drapier’s Letters» in protest against a coinage patent granted to the English manufacturer William Wood. This annotated edition contains more than 100 pamphlets, public declarations, poems, and songs, which denounced the project as a threat to Ireland’s financial security and economic well-being.
